IllDlllliPOLlS LEADER. Hon. W. S. Cuney, of Texas, has declined the appointmont of Consul .to San Domingo. John Surratt and Dr. Mudd are the only survivors of Lhe gang of ruffians who plotted the assassination of President Lincoln. Robert Bell, a colored man over eighty years of age, died at Westminster, Md., Monday, with ove 200,000 insurance on his life. We are firmly convinced that the only proper treatment for the assassin is to make him GiUauver a scaf fold and take an elevated tumble. Hon. Philip Joseph, editor oi the '. Mobile Gazette, and one of the leading colored men of Alabama, is prominently mentioned as post master at Alobile. We hope he may be appointed. The ways of the newspaper men are devious and at times hard to travel e. g. The editors of the Item, of Washington, D. C, wero "in hoc" ;two or three days last week on a .charge of criminal libel. Lieutenant H. 0. Flipper, of the 'Tenth Cavalry, the first Negro graduate of West Point Military Academy, :has been appointed Judge Advocate of a Court Martial, now in session at Ft. Davis, Texas, by General Augur. E B. Bagby, Esq., of the Indianapolis Leader, arrived hero Thursday night, the guest of Register Bruce, 909 M street n. w. He will be tendered a position in the Treasury Department. Advocate, Wash ington , D. C. We are pleased to learn that Rob ert Bruce Bagby, of our clever neighbor tho Leader, has been appointed to a responsible position in the Treasury Department We know Mr. Bagby weN and cheerfully bear testimony to his high character, as also to his entire fitness for the responsible position to which he has been appointed by Secretary ITindom. Not doubting that Mr. Bagby will discharge the duties of the important public trust to which he has been called with tho

same fidelity of faithfulness which has marked his private life in this community as a valued citizen, the Sentinel heartily congratulates our friend Bagby, his race and the public service. Indianapolis Sentinel. Rev. H. R. Revels, ex-TJ. S. Sena tor from Misssssippi, has been elected Presiding Elder, of the Jackson (Miss.) Circuit, by the M. E. Church Conference. He recently declined the editorship of the .New Orleans Christian Advocate.

President Garfield is steadily improving, and the general opinion among the best physicians is that the crisis is passed, and that he is on the high way to recovery. Hundreds of millions of people are awaiting this result with anxious hope. The Rev. Dr. Newman, the leading Methodist divine, has had the good sense to say in a sermon that there was no providence in the assassination of the President. God, ho says, does not use murderers to accomplish his designs. This is good religion. Register Bruce is in receipt of numerous letters from colored people in all sections of the country making anxious inquiry about the condition of the President. Many of them are very pathetic in love, showing the strong hold the President has on the affections of colored people. Nothing besides the deith of President Garfield would give the infamous wretch, Guitteau, more infinite satisfaction than a knowledge of the extensive run his villainous wood cut features have had in the papers. The particular wood cut the people want to see now, is one representing the scoundrel hanging from the end of a stout rope. What a glorious thing is hope! Without it this world would indeed be a cheerless waste to countless numbers of people. While it is true that hope deferred maketh the heart sick, yet the fact that "hope springs eUrnal in the human breast," never had a more beautiful and stronger illustration than in the attempted murder of our President. "I hope he will get well," was the universal exclamation of fifty millions people, when they heard the news of Guiteau's infamous attempt. Had there been no hope of his recovery, not only our own country but the whole civilized world would have been filled with a deep and sorrowful gloom. Well did Goldsmith write: "n.., like tbf glimmering tapir's light, Adortm ml che-r the way; And "till, as dnrki-r grows the night, Emits a brighter ray." One of the last acts of President Garfield on the evening before the assassination was tho signiog of the commission of Col. Carter, of Louisiana, to be Minister to Venezuela. Col. Carter has had a varied and remarkable career, and is a gentleman of remarkable attainments. lie is a Virginian by birlh and has distin guished himself as preacher, soldier and politician. The Colonel served on the wrong side during the War, but he has made splendid amends since. Accepting reconstruction and becoming an enthusiasticRepublican, he has dono much to aid tho colored people of his State in their struggle for elevation. DuriDr Senator Bruee's term in the Senate, the Colonel was clerk of one of the Commit tees of which the Senator was Chairman, and the Colonel is proud to attribute his recent appointment o! the good offices of Register Bruce. The good wishes of a host of friends will follow Col. Carter to his new field of labor in volcanic Carraccas WASHINGTON LKTTKK8. Editorial Correspondence. I Washington, D. C, 13 July, 1881 The President's condition is still improving and everybody feels hopeful that his lifo will be spared. The encouraging news from the sick room, has had a tendency to restore affairs to their normal condition, and business in the departments goes on in the usual way. Now that the President is again on tho sunny side of life, it may not be out of place to relate some things that are amusing in even these trying times. The colored people of Washington, of whom there are about 60,000, have been very much affected by the dastardly

attempt on the President's life. Nothing would please them better than to have citizen assassin Giteau, according to The Leader's suggestion, turned

loose on the steps of the Capital aller due notice. They meet in squads and discuss all phases of the question, and account for it in all manner of ways. Sitting in Franklin Park, opposite the White House, one even ing, I became interested in a fellow who, surrounded by a dozen persous, was talking excitedly on the subject; "Dars too much wickedness in de woi, he said. "When dat "comic" come as a wa'nin and, den de Lo'd brushed over de land wid a storm, I knowed sump'n was gwine fur to huppen. I tole 'em, but they wouldn't 'blieve me. Dar a got to be mo pray in and mo' hangin'." The hanging part re ceived the hearty endorsement of his auditors. ii Wash ington is a cosmopolitan place. You do not and are not ex pected to know everybody. Good friends go for months, and even for years, without seeing each other, if thev hanpen to live in distant parts of the city, and friendships are not lost, rrom what I can learn, there are many temptations for men to spend their money and waste their time. uYe welcome all strangers to Washington," said an old friend, jocularly, "but we don't allow them to take away any money. And yet, from what I already know of the citj-, 1 think this remark simply illustrated the general tendency of a very large class of those who come here. L am already convinced that a modest, unsophisticated youth like the writer, will not find it difficult to resist these temptations and lay by a penny. Last Sunday week, 1 strolled down to tho Navy Yard, but the sun was so hot that I was utterly unable to in spect the place so as to give any ac curate description of it. There were only a few vessels in the dock, and none of large size. I contented myself with boarding and inspecting one, the Falcon, which is used by scientific men, in the investigation of American fisheries. While on board this vessel, an interesting little episode oc curred, illustrative of the snobishness of the pauper crew, who are educated at government expense, and of tho dignity and independence ot the men who made their way by the sweat of their brow. I walked to the atterpart of the vessel to a shady place which gavo me a front view of tho Potomac. L had scarcely seated my self, when a dapper little official boun ced up and wanted to know it I knew 1 had no right on that boat, I confessed my ignorance of the fact, and asked him if he was tho "boss o'der machine." This seemed to exasperate him terribly, and he proceeded to inform me that he was an officer. This of course struck terror to my soul, and I began to contemplate how I might drop the little thing over-board, without splashing my clothes; but just at this juncture, a colored sailor stepped up and and said, politely, "You have a right to inspect the vessel if you wish, sir. I will show you around. Little dapper wilted, and drew himself up into a No. 2 straw hat, while my sailor friend and myself made a somewhat extensive inspection of every nook and corner of tie boat. hi. Last Sunday morning, accompanied by my old college friend, George C. Smith, of Mississippi, I attended services at the Colored Presbyterian Church, Rev. Grimke, a graduate ot Princeton Theological Seminary, pas tor. It was communion day, and the pastor simply gave a short talk on tho observance of the Lord's supper. Mr. Grimke is a gentleman of pleasing address, and is said to possess remarkable talent a ad literary culture. . Tho Church is a beautiful structure, and the congregation is said to bo one of the most intelligent in the city. Ono of tho chief attractions of the Church, is the music furnished by a quintette of which the prima donna, Miss Tilghman, is the principal singer. If our Indianapolis friends of tho 9th Presbyterian are persevering and careful of details, 1 doubt not in time they will bo equally successful in securing a larger congregation. After church wo concluded to go out toward University Place and hunt up some old friends. Jn tho course of our walk we passed tho Freed men's Hospital, an institution supported by tCongress and devoted to t'.e benent ot untortunate colored people. The dormitory buildings are frame and will have to be replaced soon by more substantial structures. Tho grounds belong to Howard University, and the medical department of this institution is located within the Hospital grounds. Dr. C P. Purvis, a very successful colored physician, is the assistant surgeon at tho Hospital. Dr. T. Augusta, by tho way, a very excellent gentleman and of high standing in his paofession, is a candidate for the position of chief surgeon at this Hospital, and will doubtless receive the appointment. Passing through a beautiful grove 1 fronting an- belonging to Howard

University, wo came to the elegant residence of Gapt. O. S. B. Wall, who needs no introduction to a Hoosier audience, if I may be permitted to assume tho oratorical style. On ringing the bell the Captain met us at the door,and with outstretched hands welcomed us to his home. It happened "without malice aforethought" that we reached tho Captain's house just about the hour for luncheon, and with great difficulty (?) he succeeded in persuading us to join himself and family in the repast. If the wellknown weakness of yours truly, on such occasions, prevented ample justice to the elegant dinner, the phenomenal appetite of my friend Smith made up for all deficiencies. Captain and Mrs. Wall have a very happy home, which is adorned by their daughters, Misses Sallie and Belle, two of the handsomest and most accomplished young ladies in Washington. It is needless to say that we spent a very pleasant afternoon, sitting and chatting in the grateful shades about the Captain's residence. It is well known that Captain Wall has few equals as an entertainer.. Captain Wall, it will be remembered, was ono of the first colored officers commissioned by Mr. Lincoln. In General Grant's first term, he was appointed a Justice of the Peace, in this city, and the assassination of President Garfield, recalls a similar attempt tiiade on the Captains life, some years ago, by a drunken scamp, because, in the line of his duty, he had tried to protect a colored woman from the fellow's rascality. He was sitting in his office when the fellow approached and without a word, drew a pistol and fired, the ball entering the abdomen. The Captai n knocked the assassin senseless with an iron instrument, but did not finish him as ho might and doubtless ought to have done. Supposing his wound to be mortal, he calmly awaited the approach of death, but with the aid of good physicians and prayer, as he verily believes, he pulled through, though he still carries the ball. Taking leave of the Captain and his agreeable family, and promising to say "howdy" for him to his Indiana friends, we directed our steps toward tho beautiful mansion of the Hon. John Mercer Langston, minister to Hayti, only a short walk distant. We were cordially received by Mrs. Langston and her amiable sister, Mrs. Fiddler, of Chillicothe, Ohio. Mrs. Langston is a lady of high culture and varied attainments, and withal a very fine conversationalist She has recently returned from a visit to her hinband in Hayti, and for an hour she entertained us with interesting annecdotes and incidents of Haytien life and character. Her descriptions of life among these people, must be heard to be fully appreciated, Tho Haytiens are a brave people. They won their freedom with sword and torch, and are proud of it. They defied the first Napoleon, and when he sent a legion, the flower of the French army to conquer them, with blood-hounds to chase them out of the mountain passes, they forced the soldiers to eat their hounds and drove the army into the sea. From the sainted Tousaint to the present time, the Haytiens have maintained their indepen. dence without a break, against the combined greed of the Shylocks of all Europe. And yet slavery left its ineffable curso upon this people, in that it made them look upon labor as degrading, and to this day the magnificent sugar plantations,from which immense wealth might be coined, are neglected wastes and ruins because the common people disdain to do a work that is such a vivid reminder of slavery. The upper classes, however, are wealthy and cultured. Their sons and daughters are educated in Paris, and consequently Parisian styles and fashions prevail largely. Mrs. Langston has great hopes for Hayti. She advises ambitious young men, desirous of marrying cultured

ladies with a handsomo income, to go to Hayti. Mrs. L. has very kindly promised at some future time to permit mo to give to tho readers of the Leader a fuller account of her impressions of the Haytiens. Mr. Langston is expected homo in a few weeks to spend tho summer, and it is generally understood that he will bo continued as Minister at Port au Prince, if he so desires. After examining Mrs. L.'s fine collections of pictures of distinguished Haytiens, and returning thanks for an excellent photograph of tho President which she was kind enough to give me. we bowed ourselves out of tho presence of the distinguished ladies, securing a cordial invitation to repeat our visit. Bert. Terrc Haute Xcwh. Charlie Fauver died at Mrs. Fauver's Saturday at 5 p. m., of sunstroke. Ho was buried last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Jethro Bass and Jethro Fauver, of Sullivan, attended the funeral Miss Carrie Steward returned home from Vincennes last Satur day evening Mrs. Jackson left for her homo in Galesburg, 111., last Saturday Kev.

the laurela Rev. P. Tolliver's annual address was equal to the best of the occasion. It will appear in the minutes Rev. W. T. Maxwell's paper on "What is the Best Method of Conducting a Sunday-school?" contained many valuable suggestions. It was ordered printed W.O. Bowles delivered the address of welcome, which was responded to by Vice-presidednt T. E. Knox Rev. Jno. Coleman is a profound thinker, a logical reasoner and an eloquent fpeaker, as was thoroughly demonstrated by his address on "Methods essential to successful Sabbath-school work." Rev. W. H. Coleman's paper on "How Can we Best Teach the Children and Save Them to the Church?" would bean article of immense value in the hands of every Sunday-school officer and teacher. In the discussion that followed Rev. E. Cumberland delivered the most masterly extemporaneous address of the session. During the further discussion of this subject Rev. Knox fired a bomb shell into the camp of. ministers who indulge in innocent (?) luxuries, such as smoking and chewing tobacco, sipping wine and beer, telling white lies, plsying checkers, dominoes, croquet, etc. He created a sensation Prof. M. II. Vaughn brought a good report from Springfield. He is a good organist, as well as good singer, and gallant with all Mr. J. N.
